Project Description:
The Lamno-Calang Road Maintenance
Project maintains the 103 km stretch of
road from Lamno to Calang from November
2006 to October 2007, while permanent
rehabilitation works are put in place. In this
way, smooth reconstruction of tsunami aff
ected communities on the west coast
of Aceh is supported by is uninterrupted
overland access.
In 2006, the road stretch between Lamno-Calang was in a critical condition due to truck overloading
and poor maintenance. This rendered the road sometimes impassable to traffic, especially during the
rainy season. This project provides urgently needed continuous maintenance services to keep the road
passable for a period of eight months.
Permanent road works will be conducted through USAID for those parts of the road that align with the
USAID design. USAID will take over from this project in October 2007.

Achievements to date:
The project was completed by December 31, 2007, and a completion report was submitted. The lack of government funding, expertise and equipment resources needed to undertake this emergency maintenance work within the limited timeframe when it was needed under scores the importance of this project. The Lamno-Calang road is the main transportation route for materials to the west coast. This project is seen as great success, and, though relatively small, a key investment in the reconstruction and recovery process.
